Joining the action on the 9♥5♥2♥Q♠ turn, Cher Whey Cheng checked and Manuel Mascunana bet 43,000 to earn a call from his opponent.
That led them to the 3♣ river on which Cheng checked once more. Mascunana bet 67,000 only to face the shove of Cheng and called eventually.
Cheng tabled the A♥10♦ for the nut flush blocker and Mascunana doubled with the 2♠2♣ for a set of deuces.
Jonald Garcia was all-in with the J♦J♥ and had a mountain to climb as Rasid Paitao tabled the K♥K♣.
Jester Intia tanked for a bit and folded, predicting an ace on the flop.
The board came A♦9♥5♠8♣5♣ and Garcia headed to the payout desk while other players at the table were trying to guess which ace Intia had folded.
Two players had been eliminated on table seven and those happened to be Masafumi Saito and Dasreen Muhammad.
Hiroshi Irimajiri was responsible for one of the knockouts with A♠K♦ versus K♠Q♣ when the chips went in before the flop. The kicker played on the K♣J♥3♣J♠3♥ runout as the rich got richer.
Chase Cokaliong had been among the early chip leaders in the opening stages but was last spotted with just 100,000 in chips, which he three-bet jammed out of the small blind. New big stack Riku Sasahara called in middle position.
Chase Cokaliong: Q♣3♦
Riku Sasahara: 4♦4♠
The board ran out A♣5♦2♠7♠K♥ and that spelled the end for Cokaliong.
All players below except for Sparrow Cheung and Nicolas Cardyn were eliminated prior to the break with the former two departing soon after the cards went back in the air.
Level: 18
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
Only 125 players remain upon completion of the fourth level of the day and they have been sent on a scheduled ten-minute break.
Vincent Wong was among those to depart recently as he waited in payout line, recalling to have run with queens into kings.
In a single-raised pot to the A♦5♥4♥ flop, Gyuhyuk Lee continued for 16,000. Table big stack Oleg Kaminski raised to 65,000 and Lee folded the K♠K♥ face up.
Darren Yu got it in via coin flip with the Q♠Q♣ and was up against Shun Jian Yee with the A♥K♠.
The J♠6♦5♠ flop kept Yu ahead but he couldn't fade the K♣ turn and A♦ river runout.
